BlueSky

John Scalzi posts about his move to BlueSky.

If you're looking for me there, I'm at @delagar.bsky.social


People are leaving Twitter because it’s not fun anymore and no one is obligated to be on a platform they don’t enjoy. It’s not rocket science.

For Those Who Have Deliberately Cultivated COVID Ignorance

Which I know is none or few or my readers, but just the same, Kevin Drum brings the facts.

(Yes, I know, COVID deniers could not care less about facts.)

Belated Thanksgiving

We had a late Thanksgiving, since the kid's fiance had to work on actual Thanksgiving. It was a lovely time. The kid and Dr. Skull did most of the cooking, though I did the sweet potato casserole, going very standard this year -- just the sweet potatoes, a little cinnamon and ginger, a tiny bit of brown sugar and the juice from half an orange. Topped with non-corn syrup marshmallows. They were perfect.

Dr. Skull and the kid did the turkey; the kid did the mashed potatoes and the gravy, as well as the rolls.

Dr. Skull did the green bean casserole, a new dish this year, and the pumpkin pie. There was also stuffing.

Uncle Charger brought the wine.

We had a fine time, though I forgot to take photos.

ETA: The kid reminds me that he also made a fine mac and cheese, with five sorts of cheese and a Panko topping. It was indeed delicious!

Next holiday we will me in the new house, less that two miles from where the kid and his boyfriend live. He can come over and cook everything.
